Judge Juan Manuel Padilla García of Colombia's First Circuit Court of Cartagena asked ChatGPT whether an autistic child should receive free health insurance coverage from a carrier that had denied the claim. He included ChatGPT's response verbatim in his ruling, complete with a citation. ChatGPT sided with the child. The judge later defended the move, saying AI was a 'tool' that saved him time. Legal experts noted the ruling was technically correct — but that a judge outsourcing legal reasoning to an AI chatbot raises serious constitutional questions.
